DARLINDA JUST DARLINDA

Every May my mom would put up a poster with this illustration of a crazy guy in bell bottoms that had the title “May Madness Is”, so May is already a crazy rainbow month full of color and love( this comes a little late as I was already at Hot Box and Hypergender!) So I hope to see you at one of these fabulous events!

The one I’m super excited about is AMERICA’S NEXT TOP MARY! Yes that’s a show I’m co-producing with my favorite Mary La John Joseph! Last Weekend I made a fabulous video with Darren Mayhem for
